Topic: Routing question -> RME Digiface to RME Babyface to RME Dac ??!
Hi guys,
Wondering if anyone could help answer hopefully a simple question here regarding a digital 'pitch and catch' scenario, if possible (and apologies if this has come up before in the forum!). Would it be possible to send 'adat out' from an RME Digiface attached to Mac 1, to 'adat in' on a Babyface attached to Mac 2, which would also be sending adat/spdif out to my RME DAC for monitoring*? I'm basically looking to use my old Mac for some extra stereo group processing ITB (i.e. utilising it's CPU and taking some of the load off of the main computer!). I'm no expert in digital clocking, but I'm hoping that the fact the audio is routed via adat over an 'all RME' setup will be possible for glitch free operation!
Thanks in advance to anyone with the answers!

*I've tried to connect both my RME Babyface and RME ADI DAC to my mac via usb in the past (selecting the RME Babyface as 'input' and RME DAC as output), however I experienced audio pops/clocking issues, hence the decision to use spdif out from my babyface instead for routing audio to the RME ADI DAC. Please feel free to highlight any technical issues with trying to operate 2 RME devices over USB, I'm curious to know if this a big 'no no' regarding clocking!
